Anyone know if the condensing apparatus has survived and is operational?
This pictu
http://www.transportarchive.org.uk/g...em=&mtv=&pnum=
suggests wide condensing pipes, while this one:

has narrow pipes like number 1. Do those still function?

L44 has never had any condensing apparatus fitted while the LRPS/QRS
has owned it and AFAIAA not for many years with Met/LT (if at all?).


#1 lost her condensing gear early (probably by the id 1920's) though the
blanking plates are still in place on the tanks.
